Plant Based News

Who

Plant Based News is a mission-led impact media platform focused on elevating the plant-based diet and its benefit to human health, the planet, and animals.

Our award-winning news team, along with our health and climate experts, bring together unique stories, news, and features that speak truth to power. Our content helps to make the shift to a sustainable diet and lifestyle informed and easy.

What

Through our editorial team, video producers, and experts, PBN uses the art of storytelling to unpack data around diet, climate, and ethics. We believe our readers are more open-minded than mainstream media often give them credit for, and our approach to news reflects that.

PBN is bringing the most important news about the shifting planet to readers where they are most likely to engage—across social media and video platforms.

Why

The world is changing. Ethics are no longer optional; if we’re not working to make our planet a more just, equitable, and sustainable place, we won’t have a planet at all. At PBN, we are working to be part of the solution by making veganism and plant-based living part of the mainstream narrative.

The world’s leading scientists agree that time is running out in the fight to stop the climate crisis. Shifting away from an animal-based food system is one of the most impactful ways we can slow global warming. It’s also a critical move in preventing future pandemics and bringing equity to our global food system.

But a plant-based diet isn’t enough—we also need to remove animals from fashion, entertainment, and experimentation.
